Air Filters in Dallas, TX

There are different types of air filters available in market that you can choose from for your Dallas, TX homes heating and air system. In regards to indoor air quality, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) established energy efficiency standards using a rating system that is better known as MERV, or minimum efficiency reporting value. MERV uses a rating scale that ranges between 1 and 16. Extremely inefficient air filters having the lower rating and high efficiency air filters receiving the highest ratings.

There are three main types of heating and cooling air filters that are most commonly used in systems. These three types are washable, fiberglass, and polyester air filters.

Washable Air Filters

Washable air filters are not that very effective or efficient and are not recommended for most heating and cooling systems. These types of filters require additional maintenance and are more prone to catching fungus, bacteria and other microorganisms that can escape from the washable air filter. The MERV rating for these filters typically range between 1 and 4.

Fiberglass Air Filters

Fiberglass filters tend to be highly effective at catching large particles that could potentially damage your heating and cooling system. However, fiberglass filters do not assist in the improvement of indoor air quality. These types of filters do not cost that much but they do need to be replaced quite often. If you are looking to improve indoor air quality in your home then it is not recommended using fiberglass filters. The MERV rating for these filters range between 1 and 4.

Polyester Air Filters

Polyester air filters, also known as pleated air filters, are quite effective at capturing dust and other small particles that fiberglass air filters cannot catch. These types of filters can remove up to 45 percent of the indoor air irritants in your home. They also have an added advantage in trapping these particles without significantly restricting the airflow from your HVAC system. These filters have a MERV rating of 8 to 13. These types of filters tend to be a good alternative for homeowners who wish to help improve their indoor air quality.

High Efficiency Air Filters

High efficiency air filters, including HEPA filters, are some of the best filters available on the market. They are extremely effective at removing airborne pollutants from indoor air. However, the downside for high efficiency air filters and HEPA filters is the cost of them. They are made from a pleated filter paper or synthetic polyester fibers. They have the highest marks in the industry at how much they can remove dust, pollen, mold and other volatile irritants from the indoor air. Their MERV rating ranges between 14 to 16.
